Asean should make it clear to citizens of all its members that India sabotaged the meeting. Let this be widely acknowledged. Then create a new version of RCEP in which India is EXCLUDED. The trouble maker is NOT welcome. US does not want RCEP to happen. India is the saboteur wo=rking on behalf of US in this 2019 BKK Asean meeting. In future do NOT invite India.
